Chapter 9
Tomoko woke up, when the sun rays shone in her face. She opened her eyes and sat up. Where was she? She looked around in her room and suddenly, all the incedents of yesterday came to her mind. She was in a wizard guild. A guild named Dark Rose. She rolled up her shirt and looked at her forearm. There, where her Dark Rose Emblem, the red rose with the black leaves, was. She smiled. Then, she looked at the clock. It was half past nine. Tomoko decided to go to the guild hall. On the way, she nearly ran into Iona. "Wowow." Iona grabbed Tomoko's shoulders. "Look where you're walking, kiddo." The brown-haired woman said. "I-I'm sorry, Miss." Tomoko said. Iona started to laugh. "Pffft! You don't have to call me "Miss", Tomoko, you can call me Iona. You don't have to be formal.", "Oh, sorry..." Tomoko said. "Awww, you're cute, Tomo-chan, but you don't have to apologize for it. Are you on the way to the guild hall?", "Yeah... I am." Tomoko replied. "I go there as well. We can go together, if you want to." Iona offered. "Eh... s-sure.", "Then come." Iona went to the exit. Tomoko followed her. "So... you are an S-Class mage?" Tomoko demanded. "Jap. I am.", "What is it like?" Iona laughed. "Well... you can do special S-class jobs that are unbelievable dangerous. Only s-class wizards are allowed to take them. But... you don't feel another way than a normal wizard.", "Oh... okay. How do you become an S-Class mage?", "You have to go through the s-class trial. If you pass it, you're an s-class mage." Iona smiled. They entered the guild hall. "Very well, then, I'll say goodbye now. Sayounara." She smiled and walked away. Tomoko nodded. Then, she looked around in the guild hall. Annika was already up and leaned against the wall. Soul was talking to Ichiro. The red-haired wizard had his hands in his pockets. Tomoko decided to go to Annika. "G-good morning." she greeted her. "Hey, Tomoko. And? Have you slept well?" Annika asked. "Yeah, very good. Is Raze up already?", "The Raging Dragon?" Annika laughed. "I don't know.", "Okay..." at that moment, they heard Raze' voice from outside. "Stupid idiot!! Don't you dare insulting me!!" And another voice answering: "Oh, yeah? And what if I dare?!", "Then I'll take my sword to your heart and bury it there!" She screamed. "With that ice sword? I'll burn it with a fire blade!", "I think, Raze and Silver are killing each other outside." Annika said. Tomoko turned around and ran outside. Raze and Silver were standing opposite of each other. Raze had an ice sword in her hand and Silver's right fist was surrounded by fire. "I'll freeze you before you can even move!" Raze shouted. "Ice Dragon's Frozen Body!!!" A cold ice aura surrounded Raze and Silver suddenly was covered by an ice layer. But at the same moment, the temperature of the air rose and the ice melted. Silver broke free, upswinged his fist and rammed it into Raze' stomach. Raze staggered back. Then, she throw her ice sword at him. Silver dodged it and fired a flame blade back. Raze ducked herself and the blade rushed over her head. Raze' fingers were covered by ice, formed to claws and she ran towards Silver. When she upswinged her arm, Silver grabbed her wrist and stopped her attack. Instead, he kicked her. Suddenly, Ichiro appeared next to Tomoko. "I'll take care about that..." He smiled. "Hey, you guys! Can you please let each other alive?", "Shut up, scar face!" Silver and Raze shouted at the same time. Ichiro's bride smile disappeared. "Okay, enough!" He shouted angrily. He narrowed his blue eyes and suddenly, Raze and Silver crashed to the ground. "Aaargh!" Raze screamed. "I feel like I'm pressed together here!!" She tried to stand up, but it seemed to cost her unbelievable much power. She collapsed. "What are you doing?" Tomoko asked. "I use my Gravity Magic." Ichiro answered. "And I'll make them as trite as a stamp.", "Do you want to break our bones?!" Silver asked. "When I'm honest... Yeah, I wanted to. After that insult...", "We're sorry, okay?!" Raze said. "Sorry, but I won't take that apology.", "Ichiro, please... let them go." Tomoko bagged. "..." Ichiro looked at her. "Okay." He answered then. Raze and Silver breathed, when Ichiro lifted his spell. "Thanks, Ichiro." Tomoko smiled at him. And then, she wispered: "Did you really wanted to kill them?", "No, I just wanted to let their lungs being pressed together a bit..." He answered. "I hate insults.... And I'm really unforgiving... I'm sensetive.", "That's okay." Tomoko hugged him suddenly. Ichiro looked down on her surprised. "What-the...?", "Oh, I-I'm sorry. I have such an instinct that I... hug people that are feeling bad." she said. Ichiro started to laugh. "How cute of you, really." He hugged her back and smiled. "I'm not feeling bad, kid." Tomoko took her hands off him. "Eh... okay. Sorry.", "Hey, no problem, Tomo. Sometimes friends hug each other, that's natural.", "You think I'm your friend?", "Of course. Every member of Dark Rose is my friend. Even Silver, when he would try to behave himself.", "I'm not deaf." Silver growled. Ichiro laughed again. "Hahaha... I'm sorry." Then, he turned around and went into the guild hall. Silver and Raze glared at each other. When a look could murder, then one of them would definitely be dead right now. Then, Silver left. Raze gritted her teeth and went to Tomoko. "Hey, Tomo-chan.", "Hey, Raze.", "Are you hungry?", "Yeah, I was waiting for you." She replied. "How nice of you. Then come." Together, they went inside of the guild hall. "I have a training section with Homura at 11 o' clock." Tomoko said. "Then, you should hurry. Homura hates it if you come too late." She smiled."I'll take the breakfast. What do you want?", "I want two toasts, one with marmelade and one with cheese.... and hot chocolate.", "Okay, roger.", "Who is Roger?" Tomoko asked. Raze laughed. "That's no person, genius, that's... a way of saying 'okay'.", "Oh... hehehe." Tomoko laughed with her. "Alright, then, I'll go. Sit down at a table meanwhile." Raze went off.
